Ahonen though that "couldn't happen" because he though that would be horribly, obviously stupid. And everything since then proved him right.

He wasn't wrong; Elop and the Nokia board have been wrong since that fateful decision. Tomi is a far better analyst than any other tech "pundit" at the Verge, Engadget, Techcrunch et al., all those who praised a WP7 Nokia and now fail to understand why it fails so badly while it was clear from the beginning.
